Hello Friends...I wanted to share the first chapter of my upcoming book...I hope you enjoy!

“As I Lay Dying…”
Here I am, once again, lying on a surgical table in Redwood City,
California, preparing for yet another brain surgery. At this point in my Incredible Journey, I have lost my
ability to speak, the use of the right side of my body and I realize that if I
don’t go through with this experience, I will most likely not survive. You would think that after two brain
surgeries a person would get use to it, but I am sure you never really do. The fact that they just informed me
that I would be awake for this one puts a whole new spin on the moment. I had seen a television program about
this type of procedure. I am not
sure whether it was on the Learning Channel or the Sci-Fi Channel, but it sure
was interesting and, I must say, a little disconcerting. Right now, I wish I had paid a little
more attention to the show. I am
certain that if I do survive this ordeal at least it is going to make for some
pretty interesting cocktail party chatter.
I am thinking about trying to ask the surgeon if she could remove the
memory of a few old girl friends while she’s in there. I am sure that my health insurance
doesn’t cover that; but, I guess, it doesn’t hurt to ask.
They
say that when you draw close to the end of your life, the moments that have
composed that life pass before you.
With all of the incredible experiences I have had in my humble
existence, I am sure I will not have nearly enough time to ponder on all that
has made my wonderful life. I have
known and deeply embraced love, beauty, friendship, abundance, prosperity and,
most important to me, the love of my beautiful child, Lucy. I could not have asked for a better
life and, if I do not survive this surgery, I can honestly say, I will be
leaving this life in full gratitude and appreciation for what the Universe has
bestowed upon me.
The
surgical team has entered the room and it appears that they are preparing for
the “Grand Opening.” Well, this
should be interesting…
